Two cars could account for $50 million of the total by themselves, according to classic car insurer Hagerty Insurance. A 1955 Jaguar D-Type Roadster that won the 24 Hours of LeMans sports car race could bring between $20 million to $25 million, say Hagerty's value experts.

But Hagerty says the real action is in the cars newer than 1980, which now represent a quarter of all the cars sold.

Here are six of our favorite rides going on the block:

1. 2014 McLaren P1The second P1 ever built, now finished in a translucent green tint over the visible carbon fiber bodywork, this exotic eye-catcher looks like a ride worthy of the Green Goblin. It will cost between $2.5 million and $3 million. Plus taxes and auction commissions. And shipping.

2. 2016 Aston Martin VulcanAston Martin's track-only Vulcan sold out before it was announced, so if you want to buy one it will have to be second-hand. Prepare to shell out between $2.3 million and $3.3 million to take this 820-horsepower V12 beauty home.

3. 2004 Maserati MC12The Maserati MC12 looks like a race car because it was built as a racing version of the Ferrari Enzo. This street version of the car is one of 50 cars built and will probably sell for between $1.8 million and $2.0 million.

4. 2012 Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport. There is literally nothing quite like the 1,000-horsepower, 8.8-liter, quad-turbocharged 16-cylinder Bugatti Veyron, and this one is the convertible roof Grand Sport version. Expect the purchase to cost between $1.7 million and $2.2 million.

5. 2008 Lamborghini Reventon. Lamborghini only built 20 of these extreme machines, and this gray one is predicted to cost between $1.2 million and $1.6 million if you want to experience its 650-horsepower V12 amazingness.

6. 2014 Ferrari LaFerrariOne of 120 LaFerraris in America, these red rockets are so sought after that this low-mileage (230 miles!) example will cost its new owner between $3.6 and $4.2 million. It is the first one to be sold second-hand. This is one used car we definitely wouldn't mind owning.
